Frank Gehry: Major Breakthrough

Rauschenberg's work ------->













Jasper Johns' "False Start"











Carl Andre's work:---->










Donald Judd's work

Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio

It is time for spring cleaning. I am thinking about selling the piano, sofas, beds, large flat files, lawn equipment, BBQ, books, tapes, and a lot of other things that should really find themselves in the garbage. Surprising to me, this video is a bit inspiring for me. It shows how one can enjoy life with, well, not much stuff. Check it out and let me know if this appeals to you.
